Bee in your bonnet?

I have been hoarding, apologies!

The bug continues to grow, almost like a larvae forming its cocoon and emerging as a beautiful butterf... wait, wrong insect. Anyway, I have at least been taking photos along the way, so you can see how it's been coming along. The most dramatic thing was that I was trying to do the border in a car, and got about halfway done before realizing I had forgotten two stitches ~100 stitches earlier. Whoops!! 50 minutes 3/12, 30 min 3/14, 2.5 hours 3/15, 2 hours 3/21, 4 hours 3/22 = 9:50.






I also found two partially done friendship bracelets in my stash of old projects (must be really old! I don't think I've made a friendship bracelet in 2 decades or more?!), and decided to finish them. Then I decided they would make good belated presents for some little girls I know (the ones who might have gotten a felt bear if not for an even littler girl that I don't yet know), but there are three girls and only two bracelets. And the two I had were kind of little and the same colors, so I made two more so that there would be more choices. 1.5 hours 3/8, 35 min 3/11, 3.5 hours 3/12 = 5:35 hours.

Note: at the time I originally wrote this (in March), my computer wasn't cooperating and I thought this whole post got eaten. My lovely seester just told me it was alive and well in the draft folder. Yay! So, my total for last quarter was 84:05 hours. Amazing! I have worked on the bug since then, but without doing a good job of recording my hours; will get back onto it and post a photo soon.

Puppy 1 Margie 0

Turns out that puppies like wooden knitting needles.  Lucky for the puppy, he didn't chew on the knitting, just the needles, pulling them out of the knitting for best results.

I have nice new metal needles now, to finish the baby sweater for tomorrow.  Pictures soon.

This is one of the reasons I didn't want to get a puppy.  Ah well.
